Deleted Items Stay in Edit mode?

When Adding Items to a portal, for instance an Image... and then I want to delete that image... I can delete it so the image no longer shows on the finished page, but the Item still shows in the Edit mode. How do I delete the Item so it no longer shows in Item mode

Assuming that you are using 10g: 
Yes, you can disable this feature. Click on Properties of the Page Group that you want to disable this feature. Go to the third tab Items. 
On this tab you will see 2 options : 
Retain Deleted Items 
Display Unpublished, Expired, and Deleted Items In Edit Mode 
Either enable or disable based on your preferences.

Create link to delete item (in non-edit mode)

Hi there,
I've been trying to create a portlet that displays items (titles + edit- and delete-links) and I got so far as to be able to create the edit-link and that seems to work. The edit link is as follows (p_news is an wwsbr_all_items%rowtype)
htp.p('<a href="/portal/pls/portal/PORTAL.wwv_edit_tab.edititem?p_thingid='|| p_news.ID ||'&p_cornerid='||p_news.folder_id||'&p_siteid='|| p_news.caid||'&p_language=sf&p_looplink='|| p_link||'&p_itemtype=basetext&p_topicid=-1&p_topicsiteid=0&p_cornerlinkid=&p_parentid=0&p_currcornerid=&p_containerpageid='|| p_news.folder_id||'">Edit</a>');and after a lot of head scratching, I managed to create a delete link as follows:
htp.p('<a href="/portal/pls/portal/PORTAL.wwpob_page_dialogs.delete_portlets_dlg?p_instance_list='|| p_news.caid||'_'|| (TO_NUMBER(p_news.id)-1)||'_'|| p_news.caid||'_'|| p_news.folder_id||'_'|| p_news.folder_id||'&p_in_edit_mode=1&p_back_url='||p_link||'&p_confirm_url='||p_link||'&p_mode=3">delete</a>');Now what really makes me wonder is this bit:
p_instance_list='|| p_news.caid||'_'|| (TO_NUMBER(p_news.id)-1)||'_'|| p_news.caid||'_'|| p_news.folder_id||'_'|| p_news.folder_id||'&and specifically the
(TO_NUMBER(p_news.id)-1)I mean, it works (unlike everything else i tried in the past few days). But can this be true? Can I use this unbelievanble hack-like "solution" in production? Is there a Oracle-approved way of creating delete-links programmatically (outside the html layout templates)?

The API calls are normally executed within scripts but you could obviously call them from a PL/SQL item as well.
The API call works fine in 10.1.4.2. Did a simple test :
<ol>
<li>Create a page group called 'test'
<li>Add two items of type base URL
<li>Created a small anonymous block with the following code :
DECLARE
CURSOR c1 IS
 SELECT masterthingid,id,version,iscurrentversion,active,siteid,name
 FROM portal.wwv_things WHERE siteid = (SELECT id FROM portal.wwsbr_sites$
 WHERE name = '&PgName') and itemtype = 'baseurl' ORDER BY masterthingid ;
BEGIN
FOR c1_rec IN c1 LOOP
dbms_output.put_line('Now deleting item '||c1_rec.name) ;
portal.wwsbr_api.delete_item(
 p_master_item_id=>c1_rec.masterthingid
 ,p_caid=>c1_rec.siteid
 ,p_mode=>portal.wwsbr_api.DELETE_ITEM_DEFAULT
 ,p_version_number=>NULL) ;
END LOOP ;
EXCEPTION
 WHEN wwsbr_api.ITEM_ALREADY_DELETED THEN
 dbms_output.put_line('ITEM_ALREADY_DELETED');
 WHEN wwsbr_api.ITEM_ACTIVE_VERSION THEN
 dbms_output.put_line('ITEM_ACTIVE_VERSION');
 WHEN wwsbr_api.INVALID_VERSION_NUMBER THEN
 dbms_output.put_line('INVALID_VERSION_NUMBER');
 WHEN wwsbr_api.INVALID_MODE THEN
 dbms_output.put_line('INVALID_MODE');
 WHEN wwsbr_api.INVALID_CAID THEN
 dbms_output.put_line('INVALID_CAID');
 WHEN wwsbr_api.INVALID_ITEM_ID THEN
 dbms_output.put_line('INVALID_ITEM_ID ');
END ;
/<li>Ran this code.
<li>Invalidated the web cache for the root page of test. The items were deleted
</ol>
Calling the API directly through your browser is tricky. I tried it and got the following error first :
+10/05/07 11:57:16 portal: [module=RepositoryServlet, ecid=79740104487,1] ERROR: Repository Gateway error: Request Processing Error:+
portal.wwsbr_api.delete_item: PROCEDURE DOESN'T EXIST
This is normal as the procedure is executed by PORTAL_PUBIC. Granting execute privileges on wwsbr_api to public did not help. The error message changed to :
+10/05/07 11:58:27 portal: [module=RepositoryServlet, ecid=79740176945,1] ERROR: Repository Gateway error: Database Error: ORA=6502 ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error+
ORA-06512: at line 31
In this case, you probably need to wrap the wwsbr_api.delete_item() procedure into your own procedure and call this from your portlet.
Hope this helps,
EJ

Assign focus on text field associated with tree item in edit mode

The JavaFX home page has an example for how to edit the label associated with a tree item using a cell factory (see sample code below). However, if you select a tree item and then either mouse click or select the Enter key to start editing, the text field doesn't get focus even though the startEdit() method invokes textField.selectAll(). I tried invoking textField.requestFocus(), but that didn't work. Is there a way to ensure that the text field gets focus when the tree item is in edit mode?
I'm using JavaFX 2.1 GA version on Windows 7.
Thanks.

When you click on a selected tree item to start the edit process is the text in the text field selected? In my case the text is not selected and the focus is not on the text field so I have to click in the text field before I can make a change, which makes it seem as if the method call textfield.selectAll() is ignored or something else gets focus after method startEdit() executes.

Hi there,
You can set the navigable and mouse-navigate property to no.
Then create a visual-attribute which you want to show when the user can't change the item.
When you want to change the visual_attribute for the item use:
set_item_property('<block>.<item>', VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE, '<name of attribute>'.
when you use enabled, the field is simply grey, but with the visual attribute you can show any color you like!
Hope this helps...

Item field to non-editable mode(display mode) in Purchase Order(ME22n).

Hi SDN,
Based on the Comany code i need to modify the item level fields like Item, Account Assignment, Material to non-editable mode(display mode) in Purchase Order(ME22n).
So i modifed in the method MODIFY_SCREEN_TC_LINE of class CL_TABLE_VIEW_MM and set the value L_FIELD_STATUS = * for the screen filed MEPO1211-EBELP. When i execute, the whole column changed to display mode and the empty rows filled with 0(zero). But i want only grey mode for the line items that are present for that PO but not for the whole column. So can any one guide me to do so. I am using 4.6c.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Basha

Hi Ramesh,
Normally you can change the currency field, after entering information in Data base's table, go to Detail's table and change the rate as you want, then directly choose your PO number.
so the system accept the rate entered aven though the PO had another rate.
Regards.

Disable Delete option but enable edit option for a content item?

Hi,
Appreciate your input on this. The portal version being used here is 3.0.9.8.2.
I would like to have the following privileges setup for a content folder's items.
- one group can edit and delete items
- one group can edit but not delete items.
However looking at the access types available at the folder level - there are only "view only" , "edit style", "manage items", "own folder","create with approval".
The "manage" privilege is simply a catch all privilege. User can edit, checkin/out and also delete an item.
How do I prevent a user/group from deleting an item ? (or atleast disable the rendering of the 'X' delete icon?)
I did experiment with the audit option by enabling version control which is somewhat helpful in that I can preserve the older versions, but like above, I cannot enforce that.
regards
-Ananth

thanks for your answer Mr. Atkinson, that was excatly what I need. This is my code inside the event receiver:
public override void ListAdded(SPListEventProperties properties)
SPList list = properties.List;
list.AllowDeletion = false;
list.Update();
but the above code dont have any effect on the list, I have still the Item with DELETE THIS LIST in the listsettings.
do you know maybe why? or can I also debugg it?
thanks in advance

pkg4ibm wrote:

Not sure what you mean by that: is that URL in an image, or is it actual text?
If it is in an image, then you need to extract the image, edit it with something like Photoshop, then add it back to the PDF.
If the URL is actual text, I suggest that you remove the entire URL, then add the corrected link.

DMS: Documents opened in edit mode(CV02N) are not deleted from Temp Folder

Hi All,
My query is whenever i edit documents like word,pdf or autocad files in cv02n, it make a copy in my c/windows/temp folder but doesnot delete them when it close the transaction. i have given PC data carrier with path as %Temp% & in profiles i have defined the path as c/windows/temp/
So is there any solution by which the files opened in the edit mode will be deleted when i close the transaction or else after some specified time it should get deleted from the temp folder. Is there any standard configration for it.
Note: I have tried the 741388 note but it is only for display mode documents.
Regards
Nishant.

Hi Nishant,
unfortunately this is the standard behavior as for editing the application need a
temporary file and this file is still stored after closing the application to enable a re-checkin in the future too.
So the only possibility is to delete the temporary files from C:\Windows\Temp after some time manually. There is no functionality in the system standard as the SAP system has no control on the windows folders.
To achieve a very similar behavior you can set the "Delete after checkin" flag in transaction DC30 for this applications and see if this will meet your requirements.
This flag means that the original file gets deleted after you check them into a storage category. Maybe this could be usefull.
Best regards,
Christoph

Deleting photos in edit mode

I've no issues with iPhoto 08 other than when deleting photos
I always delete in edit mode (Apple-Backspace) and with all previous versions it would simply move to the next picture after deletion
With 08, as soon as I delete a photo, it moves right back to the first picture in the event or library
I've searched threads & the web but can't find any mention of this - am I missing something obvious?
Thanks
Dom

I tried rebuilding just some minutes a go.
I am now revising my previous statement. When deleting photos in newly (in this session) created albums, album list is not updated until I select another album and then back again. However, image count of the album is updated.
Information pane is never updated, unless closed and opened.
And while writing this, iPhoto came to a dead stop in the background.

Deleting Pictures in Edit Mode

When I am in Full Screen Edit Mode I don't seem to be able to delete an open picture simply by pressing the DEL button. The combination Command-Option-Delete works but not the Delete alone. A friend of mine can delete an open picture with just DEL button. Am I the only one with that problem? Are there settings to activate deleting picture in Full Screen Edit Mode with just DEL button? (I think the first time I run the program after installation the DEL button alone worked but I am not 100% sure)

Remove insert replace delete options from abap editor in EDIT mode

hi ,
i am facing a strange problem. when i change to edit mode the code remains as display format and there are buttons in the toolbar to insert,delete, modify .
it puts a tag *{ insert
like this when i press insert button.
i want to do normal editing. How to ressolve it.
this is a Z-program and editor lock is unchecked.
please help me.

this is because you are trying to change a progarm that is not the orignal in that system, in which you are trying to make changes.
for such program Original system is different from the system in which you are trying to modify it. You can also check it from object directory entry.
To edit such type of program please follow the below procedure.
GOTO T-CODE SE03
Under the node *Object Directory choose change object directory entries and click on execute icon or double click on it.
now check the check box R3TR PROG and give the program name in the input area and click on execute icon
now double click on program name and change the original system and give the name of system in which you are tyring to make changes in that program.
I have applied this solution many times and this will also work for you.

[iPhone SDK] - UITableViewCell - Set edit mode to delete automatically?

Hi,
I'm having a hard time trying to understand how to set edit mode to delete automatically for all cells in a table view, like in the Weather app for example (in the app settings).
I tried using - (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath, but it never gets called.
Anyone can help?
Thanks!

First of all, the following method tells the table that which cell is editable;
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
you can return TRUE or FALSE depending upon the indexPath.
Then the following method will tell about the editing style;
- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
In which you may return UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete .

Can't view photos in edit mode

Hello,
I just upgraded to iPhoto '08, and while I can view all my thumbnails ok, the photos themselves won't load at all in edit mode.
I was using iPhoto to try to"jumpstart" my iWeb (per my other help request in another topic) when I noticed this.
I have Leopard 10.5.2, iPhoto 7.1.2 and a 1.8 GHz processor and 512 MB RAM in my upgraded G4 tower. I tried deleting the preferences file, rebuilding the library file, opening in another account, etc, with no luck. I had even just erased my hard drive and cleanly re-installed Leopard, etc. with still the same problems in both apps. Do I just need to add more memory perhaps? I can't think of anything else...?Does Leopard require much more memory than Panther (which I had before) to run properly?
Thanks,
Paul

I've had the what sounds like the exact same problem with iPhoto '08. I, too, have an upgraded 1.8 GHz G4 (AGP Graphics) running OS 10.5.3 (although the original installation was 10.5.1 and the same problem occurred before the software updates). When I try to edit a photo, the edit window opens but no picture appears. Clicking on the various editing tools and manipulating them (blindly, on a blank screen) shows that editing is actually taking place, and that changes can be saved.
An earlier post of mine concerned the first problem I noticed since my OS and processor updates; namely, that the DVD player app won't work, but instead returns an error message saying that a valid device could not be found for playback. Several responses to that post seemed to suggest that the ATI Rage 128 video card might be the culprit and that it would need to be replaced. In the past week I've been on the phone or in email contact with tech support people at ATI, Sonnet, Other World Computing, and Apple, the last being the least knowledgeable of all of them, I'm sorry to say.
The Sonnet guy personally runs a computer just like mine, but with the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac video card. That item costs $209 at OWC. But ATI says it won't work because of the G4's 200 power supply.
These folks think that the iPhoto problem would be solved by the new video card -- but I'm not yet convinced I want to spend that kind of money to find out. Most also say that the DVD Player issue would be fixed, although the OWC guy says it has nothing to do with it.
So we're going blind here, with much conflicting expert opinion. I'll keep watching for further discussion.
